i myself would at a minimum, necksize and trim to length.

the cheaper scales will measure individual kernels of the bigger stick powders 4064/4895 etc. the problem is the scale your reading on the side of the balance beam is very small, you need very good eyes to see the movement. last eye test i had, i could still read the bottom line, and i have to...

my own theory on this resides with stick powders primarily. powder may burn by volume, but it is very difficult due to the shape of the powder to get it to measure out by volume consistantly, where as going by weight you can be more consistant. the only way i can figure to measure powder by...

you have now learned there are gunsmiths, and there are good gunsmiths. the plain gunsmiths outnumber the good gunsmiths by about 3:1. my own opinion is, you learned a lesson, and need to cut your losses and find a different guy to work on your gun.

about a half dozen of those vibration dampeners used on compound bows , stuck to the side of the stock ought to help. probably look silly too!

it is the internet! LOL

i cant speak for the 40's and 50's, but ive seen the photo's in a book of winchesters stamps from the 1890's-1920's. they were hand cut stamps , and were replaced as they wore out.

most likely it is 6-48.

i think it falls under the theory that some barrels are faster than others.

im going to only say this once, dont try and turn crap back around. you are the first individual to have brought up ship cannons, your the guy trying to compare 22lr's to centerfire cartridges. you are the guy that wants everyone to agree with his theories, but offer ZERO evidence to support his...

why not, because there is a pinch of dust inside a 22lr cartridge for powder, while there is a whole bunch of propellent inside a centerfire cartridge. like comparing a spitball to a wrist rocket. why is it so hard to understand your making claims as facts with no hard evidence to back up said...

the problem with your theory here is that a centerfire bottleneck cartidge with smokeless powder is not just a scaled up version of a 22lr. apples/oranges. i definately believe there's a point that adding barrel length nets you very little in return, but with the centerfire cartridges we are...

i dont know, but at 12 miles they can do groups that will make a BR shooter envious! seriously 4mesh, you make a lot of hypothesis as the basis for your argument, and nothing of substance to back it up. i dont put a lot of faith in QL either, but you have made statements, with absolutely...

not you Al, i had tried to quote 4mesh's post, but it didnt work. post #20 where he's mentioning ships cannons as an example of short barrels are faster.

we're so smart now that the standard gun barrel on a U.S. warship is now 22.5 feet long. i guess the chronographs werent that accurate a couple hundred years ago.

if he's cleaning an M1 or M14, he's absolutely correct!
